This is a quick turnaround for a Winnipeg Jets team that played yesterday, and they go to Pittsburgh, a place that’s been a house of horrors for them over the years. The Jets simply don’t win in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Penguins have been the hottest team in the league over the last month or so, and they have to be licking their chops based on their success against the Jets in past seasons. Give me the penguins and the PL for max betting value.
